(AP) - A father and son have been sentenced for running a scheme to illegally exchange nearly $3.5 million in food stamp benefits for cash at a supermarket where they worked.

Sixty-year-old Juan Perdomo was sentenced Tuesday to 38 months in federal prison. His 35-year-old son, Jose Perdomo, was ordered Thursday to serve 15 months of home detention and five years of probation.

The two Newark men had pleaded guilty last year to fraud and other charges.

Juan Perdomo managed the M&R Supermarket in Newark, and his son worked at the business. Prosecutors have said the illegal exchanges occurred between October 2015 and September 2018.
